The Department of Neuroscience offers four B.Sc. programs, plus a Minor in Neuroscience and Mental Health. Program requirements and course descriptions can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar. Please read through our Frequently Asked Questions and then contact the Undergraduate Administrator if you have further questions.
For most students, we recommend the Neuroscience and Mental Health program. This is our largest program, and is very popular with students interested in pursing Health and Life Science careers including research, medicine, pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries, and teaching. Launched in 2012, this new program maximizes the breadth of cutting edge neuroscience courses that are available to you.
The Department also offers a Combined Honours in Neuroscience and Biology where there is an equal split of NEUR and BIOL courses, with emphasis on upper-year BIOL courses with labs. Students may choose to complete their 4th-year honours project through the Department of Biology, as opposed to the Department of Neuroscience.
The Minor in Neuroscience is available to students registered in degree programs other than those offered by the Department of Neuroscience. It consists of NEUR 1202, NEUR 1203, NEUR 2201, NEUR 2202, plus 2.0 credits of eligible 3000-level or higher NEUR courses.
